My roots are in off-road racing, starting in Mickey Thompson Super Lites as a kid and playing in the desert in side-by-sides, sand cars, and that sort of thing. Watching my dad race off-road growing up and being able to follow in his footsteps is really special, and I hope to make him proud,\u201d said Casey Mears.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nMears will join Amanda Sorensen who will also drive a Pro-2 for Ryan Beat Motorsports.

The \u201cBeast\u201d takes the capability of Chevrolet Performance to the next level.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nDesigners and Engineers at Chevrolet started with a short-bed Silverado and heavily modified it. The frame was shortened even more and a 4130 chromoly tube frame structure was added for safety. Engineers built a long travel five link rear suspension for the Beast. The chassis was also widened for stable handling and driver control in off-road driving situations.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\u201cThere\u2019s nothing else like The Chevy Beast,\u201d says Jeff Trush, GM program manager, Pace Car and Specialty Show Vehicles. \u201cIt delivers a ton of performance and capability, which makes it adept at conquering rough terrain \u2014 and it flat-out flies in desert running.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nThe Beast has a Chevrolet Performance LT4 crate engine with a supercharged V8 rated for 65 horsepower. Thirty-seven-inch tires are mounted to 20-inch beadlock wheels. The Beast also got a big brake kit upgrade from Chevrolet Performance. Inside there are a pair of 7-inch diagonal screens that monitor vehicle functions and performance. The Beast has Baja Designs LED lights, a couple of spare tires in the bed and a custom front grille.","excerpt":"
